"The brand-management aura has propagated one of the biggest myths about P&G, that it does nothing but influence consumers to buy the company's products. P&G has always been misunderstood as a marketing company. The fact is that P&G's fortunes have been built on product innovation. Brand management is an integral aspect of it, and it's the way the business is managed."1

- John Smale, Former Chairman, P&G.

"Our brand is our bond with consumers. When we succeed, we convert a trademark into a trustmark, and another P&G brand becomes a valued and trusted member of the household."2

- John Lafley, President & CEO, P&G.

Introduction

Based in Cincinnati, US, Procter & Gamble (P&G) was one of the largest manufacturers of fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) in the world. For the financial year ending June 2003, P&G reported revenues of $43.38 bn and net earnings of $5.18 bn. In 2003, the company was ranked 31st among the Fortune 500 companies. P&G had operations in 80 countries globally, with an employee-strength of around 1,10,000 worldwide. Analysts attributed the evolution of P&G, from a small soap and candle maker into a multi-billion dollar company, to its highly successful marketing and brand management strategies (Refer Exhibit I for P&G's competitive advantage in branding).
